I am looking for any information about a man named Worthy Bishop who I believed immigrated to the USA in the mid to late 1800's.
I know that the family did have contacts with persons in the United Kingdom as I have a family picture of those in Great Britian. Among the names is Churchill. The picture is of a wedding and it appears that it might be in the 1920's.
Worthy Bishop moved hsi family from Ohio to Nebraska in the late 1800's. His wife was named Mary and he had 3 children, Alfred, Blanche and Florence. Florence is my grandmother. She was born in 1888 and told me that her father died when she was about 5 years of age.
I would love to hear from anyone who has any information about Worthy or his family. Also I would share the photo and other names that are noted on the back if needed.
I can be reached at jcmaus@fmtc.com |

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any information on a Hugh Howell that was B:1659 in Wales, and D:1745 Unknown to me at this time. I believe that his father was english and his mother was Welsh, but I am not sure. His descendents moved to New Jersey USA and them some immigrated to Canada and settled in the Wentworth and Brant Counties of Ontario. This would be the line that I am following:
Hugh Howell
B:1659
M: ?
D:1745
His Son
Samson Howell
B:1718
M:Jane Vanderbilt (B:1722, D:1805)
D:1803
Their Son:
William Howell
B: May 1760 Hope Twp, Warren Co. NJ USA
M:Hannah Davis (B:1760, D:AFT 1803 CAN)
D:8 May 1823
Buried:St. George United Cemetery, South Dumfries Twp., Brant Co. Ontario Canada
Their Son:
James Howell
B:8 Nov 17832 Sussex Co. NJ USA
M:ABT 1812 Hannah Templer in Ancaster Twp., Wentworth Co., Ontario Canada
D: 2 July 1860 Ancaster Twp. etc
Buried: Zion Hill Cemetery, Ancaster Twp., Wentworth Co. ON CAN
Their Daughter
Mary Jane Howell
B:25 Sep 1831 Ancaster Twp., etc
M #1:24 jan 1852 to James Wilson

Buried: Zion HIll Cemetery
James Wilson
B:8 Jan 1824 Ireland
D:202 July 1862 Ancaster, Wentworth ON
Buried: Zion Hill Cemetery
Mary Jane Howell is my g-g-g grandmother and my great grandmother's namesake (she was named Mary Howell Young)
Another person who is researching the Howells
has said that
"Hugh Howell is the grandson of Edward Howell who emigrated in 1693, established the 1st English settlement on Long Island at Southhampton, and was a member of the New York State Legislature.
He was a Bucaneer with Captain Henry Morgan and was knighted by Charles II, and made governor of Jamaica and then settled in New Jersey.
If anyone has any leads on Hugh it would be a great help, I think he is english and not welsh, but I'm not sure.
Thank you

Margaret Alma Jones.
I am trying to find out about my mother Margaret Alma Jones who lived in East Glamorgan 41 Thompson Street Barry. I last saw her some time between 1949 to 1950, before leaving with my father for Malta. I would be interested in any relatives that may be still living in Wales. Please contact me. |

I have made two trips to Wales and three trips to London and have been trying to confirm and find the marriage of John Walters and Mary Owens (Jones?) in Rumney, Wales in 1840...
I would appreciate any assistance as I am tired of hitting dead ends.
Thanks |

| How do I go about getting birth and marriage records from Wales. I have the exact dates and parishes. One is a birth in Llangendeirne, Carmarthenshire, Wales in 1844 and the other is a birth in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales. I can not find them in the GRO to send away for because those areas arent indexed yet. Any suggestions? Thank you |

Hi This is my first posting to this site and am hoping someone may be able to help as I've been looking for about 3 Years for two un-named boys.
This family emmigrated to Australia on The Duchess of Northumberland in 1839.
Thomas Fisher b 1797 and Jane Robert b 1799.
Kids were John b 1816, Mary b 1821, Eliza b 1822, Hannah b 1826, and two boys aged 8 and 10 on the shipping records in 1839.Some of the kids are recorded as being born in Swansea Glamorgan.I have been posting different boards but not had any luck as they may have moved around Wales.
Thankyou for your time Margaret Blake in Sunny Adelaide Australia |
